Scott Heavy Movers Inc. was given the task of moving the historic Murphy House in Burlingame during the late hours and over the train tracks in between night trains into the early morning Friday, Sept. 18. The house was moved from its previous location at 1128 Douglas Ave., where a five-story apartment complex will be constructed. The house is former home of James Murphy, who served as an early city stationmaster and later worked as city clerk before his death in 1940. The historic Murphy House's new location is at 525 Oak Grove Ave. in Burlingame.
